It has been described as a pure science fiction novel and, after only one reading, it really can be considered to be one. The intricate plot and fascinating detail may obscure the serious intent of the novel.... [tags: Sirens of Titan Essays]

In the Shadow of a Titan
- Discomfort and chaos are the handmaidens of change and whilst change ultimately brings about boundless opportunities for new beginnings, the end of the Cold War and the demise of the two block system did not herald the creation of a more stable and balanced world order as many political commentators speculated. This essay will critically analyses the extent to which the post Cold War world order did not become more stable and balanced by illustrating the in-stability and conflict that erupted with the fall of the Soviet empire, and how the end of the cold war removed the blanket of stability, not just across the Central European and Balkans regions, but also the wider world....

The Various Natural Processes that Shape Titan
- Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, is extremely strange and is very similar to Earth in many aspects, thus innately making it a worthwhile topic of study. Most of the previous attempts to study and observe Titan had been severely impeded by the presence of a thick and obscuring orange haze that covers the moon in its entirety due to the combination of hydrogen and carbon (which both originated from methane that had been split by the sun’s ultraviolet rays) and nitrogen. Now, however, the Cassini spacecraft has truly revealed the moon through the utilization of its advanced radars, cameras, and infrared technologies....
